More about me

I've now been a member of Eons for about two years now and I've seen people come and go. I've also seen those who stay and most always have a good argument. Some seem to weave in and out of sanity, but I still enjoy most of the debates.

Now a little about myself; I was born and raised on a cotton and tobacco farm in rural eastern South Carolina in a county that is about 60 percent African-American decent. My graduating class had 27 people. I went to college and eventually ended up in Jacksonville,Florida.

I believe in this country with great passion but also think it has gotten off track, maybe derailed is a better analogy. I listen to NPR every day and think it is the best most unbiased news you can get. I also listen to Rush,Fox News,Sean Hannity etal because without hearing two sides of anything you are left without a scale to judge with.

I look forward to good,intelligent,honest dialogue and thank you for letting me in.
